“Pray About It”
Donnie & Shirley
From the EP Never Too Late (2011)

Shirley Morgan sounds like she took voice lessons from Mavis Staples and Tina Turner.
Her deep, throaty alto and soulful shouting, coupled with Donnie Morgan’s deep southern guitar licks, could give one the mistaken impression that “Pray About It” is an unissued track from the vaults of the Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. No, it’s as current as 2011 and recorded in Plano, Texas.
The husband-wife duo formed in 1991 and calls Bishop Jakes’ The Potter’s House in Dallas their church home. On “Pray About It,” they don’t just suggest praying through troubles, they command it.
